Congratulations to the

Scottish Terrier Club of Greater Denver

Job well done! Thank you for a warm western welcome.

We are so proud of our hosting regional club members and their good sportsmanship.

See you in Dayton for Rotating 2020! Details will be available shortly.

Are you ready?

Montgomery week is just a month away.

Are you ready for agility, conformation and STCA events?

Are you a new to the STCA?

Montgomery week is a unique opportunity to meet, greet, and demonstrate your passion for the breed. From Palmyra, PA to eastern Pennsylvania, Scotties and their people come together for a variety of events in celebration of the breed.

Remember what fun you had last year? Dinner and entertainment is complimentary for registered guests in the STCA's block of guest rooms at the host hotel. Small admission fee to those not staying at the hotel. We're all set for an evening of entertainment, horseracing, friends and great food on Thursday evening, following the Independent Specialty - right at the hotel.

*No refunds for cancellations or no shows. Sorry, no walk-ins. Pre-paid registrations only.

Take note Regional Clubs:

In the STCA's ongoing efforts to promote the Scottish Terrier Breed education, instruction and information, the STCA offers Education Grants to two Regional Scottish Terrier Clubs, one each at $500.*

The STCA offers two separate grants annually to a Regional Club that would like to further the education of its members and guests. The education programs may be of any form: health, breeding, grooming, handling, training; virtually every aspect of positive promotion and education of our breed.

Guidelines for grant applications due by September 18 for consideration for 2020.

Written Statement of need: what event/seminar your club plans to offer.

What are the desired outcomes of your educational event?

How will your club plan for continued and ongoing education?

Grant request must be submitted at least 90 days before your event date.

Regional club secretary will submit application with details as requested to the STCA Corresponding Secretary for STCA review and approval. No more than two (2) grants will be approved annually and for up to the amount of $500 each. No one club may receive more than one grant per year.

Deadline for submissions: Sept. 18

(*Grants are separate from Meet the Breeds events hosted in Orlando and NYC)
